Anyone recommend a site showing foam roller exercises by video?

I thought transform had a vid explaining different exercises but I can't seem to find it

Transforms vid is good. I find Eric Cressey is very good for this sort of thing

Jesus christ, I just tried that last one in the above vid. Hand towards my legs is no problem, towards my head is ****ing agony. Work to be done!

Gummy Panda

Thanks for the vids guys!

Dossing on 4chan brought me to this: http://4chanfit.wikia.com/wiki/Harsh%27s_Worksheet_%28WIP%29

It's SFW if anyone is wondering

Had a Horrible IT band Injury there about 4 or 5 weeks ago which then caused me to pull a calf muscle through over compensating while walking and things , Foam Rolling is an absolute godsend.
Pretty much healed up but I'm continuing to incorporate it more and more.

Does anyone know if its worth doing it before and after training? or just do it the once?

d'Oracle

It doesn't matter.
You probably won't have time to do 12 sessions a day, but realistically if something is tight and rolling it helps then there is no reason not to do it more than once.

Interesting study, and not the first to come up with the same results.

My job is looking for a Zumba / Dance Fitness instructor to come in an hour, once (possibly twice) a week and teach a class to some of the girls in the office.

If you know anyone that's good and is interested in teaching give me a PM and I'll put you in contact with someone in here.

I'm tempted myself.

One of the cal strength lads was using them for cuban presses. I have trouble with all those movements because the humerus seems to translate downwards and probably recruit the wrong musklez. That horn thing looks like it addresses it. I wonder if bending a copper pipe and covering it with insulation would get you a similar thing because 60 dorra seems a lot for some bent pipe. Maybe it releases magical value rays or something.

Jaysus I'd rather pay the 60 quid than spend ages trying to bend a copper pipe to the right shape.

Edwardius

Good point! I'll probably try it out of stubborness anyway

Anybody have a link to a decent website that has a database of exercises and movements with the agonist, antagonist and joints involved listed? Would be greatly appreciated.

The Missions are back. They can learn about broad time and modal domains and how Glassman created fitness in Santa Cruz in 2001. Should provide a nice cash income for the building of the spaceship from the the influx of level 1 certifications.

I'll see if I can eyeball the dimensions later in the week. Might be able to bend some PVC pipe or just bend copper around my neck, like a boss (I shall call this "ergonomic fitting")

Yeah sure why not! At the back of my mind I always knew it'd end this way!

you'd think the three people running with her would at least walk over to see if she's alright.

But still... hahahaha

She must not be elite enough to warrant the attention.

That video is horrendous.

How did no one video-ing it or those running along side her not realise she was getting dangerously close to the vehicle?

Are these crossfitters? Cause there's **** all impressive about any of those girls in the video.

Oh wait, I forgot... "im a gurl and i lift, so what if I sqwuat" etc.

d'Oracle

I'm not sure how the quoted post and the response relate.

discus

...but then again you wouldn't! If they are pulling a car around a track, being recorded by cameras and watched by an audience, I would have expected something that was somewhat impressive. Is it 'cause they are girls?

Hi,
Random question and don't want to start a thread about it due to the nature of the question. Basically the missus had me watch Geordie Shore and all the lads in it are ripped and in good nick. However all they seem to do is drink and eat junk (I am aware the show is edited). The misses thinks they're in the gym none stop while I think the physique is of a chemical nature. Any thoughts?

discus

Probably some steroids involved, they're not hard to get your hands on at all! Still, hard work goes into making a hard body, chemically-aided or not!

Chemicals for sure. I'm not saying all of them are on it, some of them aren't that big. I've seen a picture of the big lad (jay i think his name is) at some club appearance and his face was extremely bloated which can be a side effect of certain types of these chemicals ;D Also Gaz is ripped to the point where most natural people would look really flat/not be able to maintain that appearance for any period of time. James is or was just 20 when it started so I'd be skeptical about him as well but his is possible naturally with a few years training.

A few of the CFers involved in that posting on this thread: http://beastmodaldomains.com/2012/02/15/sac-town-throwdown-and-the-eleet-roadkill-wod/

It's all very entertaining anyway. Saw that shit coming. The amount of slack apparently on everyone's rope the entire time was a mystery to me as well.

that car was rollin' around the track, the guy on the left was a way out in front with a load of slack behind him, if your running tied to a car surely it would be jerking between strides

Half of them aren't girls.
So like, just because they took a video of girls it has to be to impress you?
I am very confused.

I guess they might now understand why horse carts and dog sleds all have rigid arms at the front......
